so emotional

Today Sophie went in for her knee surgery. I dropped her off around 4 o'clock so they could get her lab work and some other things out of the way before the surgery tomorrow. I never thought I would love a dog so much that I would cry my eyes out for 30 min after dropping her off. I know this is for the best but we won't get her back until Wednesday or Thursday. Very quiet around the house with out our little punkin.

16 weeks

Yesterday I had an OB appt all looks good. We talked about my calcium being a little low from my blood work that was done last week she said to try and get some extra calcium in food and not take a supplement because of my history of kidney stones. She said pregnant women are at higher risk of getting them. She also told me to try and drink a glass of lemonade everyday to reduce the risk. That's the last thing I need right now is another stone. Baby's heart rate was at 153 which is good and should be about the size of an avocado. Our next ultrasound is scheduled for September 10th and I forgot to ask but it sounds like this will be my last one unless I have problems. We may just have to talk her into at least 1 or 2 more. Not sure if I (we) can wait that long.

It's a Girl??

We had an ultrasound this afternoon and baby is measuring about 6 days ahead. When the tech first started looking at baby it was on its back with legs up over the head. We may have a gymnast on our hands...lol!! We were so sure that it would have legs crossed and no chance of finding out gender but it was far from. The tech got a great shot and she is pretty sure it's a GIRL!!! We will have another chance to look in about 3 weeks and hopefully it will be more definitive. Here are a few pics of her (?) and an updated belly shot.

2nd Trimester..Yay!!!

First trimester....check! Only 2 more to go. We are so happy to be at this point finally, although it has gone pretty fast. We had our couple of scares but really it has been pretty easy compared to some people's experiences. Our little one is now the size of a peach, it's just crazy how fast it grows. My belly is getting a little bigger but still just looks like I ate way too much. Some of you may already know but I ran into a little snag with my bridesmaid dress for my cousin's wedding at the end of August. I bought it to fit with a little room to get the top taken in a bit. Last week for some reason I thought I better try it on and make sure it was still going to work.....well let's just say I couldn't breathe when Jason finally got it zipped up. OMG... this dress took 12 weeks to get in and I only have 4 weeks until the wedding. Thank goodness they put a rush on the new dress (3 sizes bigger) and it should be here Saturday or early next week. Of course it will have to be taken in but I am definitely bigger than what I thought. My next ultrasound is on August 20th, and we have hopes of finding out what we are having. It might be a little soon but we're going to try.
